What is more significant? Crucifixion or Resurrection
Jesus, who is God, took the form of a man to take away the sins of Christians. John 3:16 says; "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Jesus claimed to be Lord, and was Lord. He was the ultimate sacrifice, for our sins and was needed to fulfill the law. Jesus did many things while being on earth two of the most important ones to Christians are him dying for our sins {Mat 27:1} and him resurrecting from the dead. {Mat 27:53}.Jesus dying on the cross was to be the ultimate sacrifice for the ones who believed in him. 1 Peter 3:18 says; "For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit,." Jesus came to earth, lived on the earth, as man. Jesus loved the world so much that he sacrificed himself for us. In the Old Testament "Prior to Jesus' coming" They would have to sacrifice Animals for Atonement {Lev. 5:18}. Jesus came to be the ultimate sacrifice, without Jesus we would have no atonement, nor could we enter the kingdom of God {John 14:6} without Jesus we could not see the father. Jesus claimed that at his death the temple veil will b

Mark 8:31 says; "He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. "The resurrection is a key part of Christianity. If he hadn't risen from the dead. He would have been a liar and wouldn't have been any different from any other religious leaders. Jesus came back to earth in his glorified body and was unrecognizable by his disciples{John 20:19-20}. He made his presence known for 40 days {Act 1:3}. On the fortieth day Jesus ascended into heaven {Act 1:9}. I believe Jesus dying on the cross was more significant, By Jesus dying on the cross he was the final atonement {Rom 3:25} for our sins and enabled it for us to come to him by confessing our sins and believing in him {Rom 10:19}. If Jesus hadn't risen from the dead, and did not claim he would, people would say he is no great then Muhammad, or Buddha. But he had not rose from the dead and it wasn't prophesized would you still believe Jesus is Lord? Jesus is Lord because he was born into
